This is the famous, early 20th Century Greek warship named apparently after the guy that put alot of money into it. I imagine it'll work great as any generic dreadnaught-ish ship. Also of note, you can spot this thing 'from space' using the satellite images on google maps :mischief:

Cool, the Georgios Averof, Launched March 12, 1910, Commissioned September 1, 1911 and Decommissioned August 1, 1952... Very good looking Ship Orthanc :goodjob:

Great

Good to see it done

Stormrage · May 4, 2007

Nice boat, O! :clap:

El J would love this for AoI. It would fit in very well.

The attack look a bit weak, but this doesn't take away from the fact it's very cool!

Question: Does it really sink that fast in game?

Ozymandias · May 4, 2007

Very nice indeed. :thumbsup:

Wow! good job.

Orthanc · May 4, 2007

Thanks everyone!

Tank_Guy#3: Yes, the animations shown in the preview should run at that speed in-game too.

Civinator · May 4, 2007

This is a very nice ship! :thumbsup:

Now all we need is someone to make Karteria:

As always, a really nice ship. Very good!

Thorvald of Lym · May 5, 2007

Definitely a keeper!

odintheking · May 5, 2007

Smashing! Really nice.

FieldMarshall · May 8, 2007

Older, pre-World War I ship units are a rarity to find. This is an amazing vessel, and an excellent example of a unit type that has very few actual units. This ship works well alongside Wyrmshadow's Casemate BB's and his HMS Dreadnought.

Excellent work!

What town is it in?

Orthanc · May 11, 2007

It's just south of Athens, the town is called Faliron, but really if you're just looking at the satellite image you can't tell it's seperate from Athens. Look for a harbor, and a big boat (however, I will add that the stern seems to have a tent or something over it).

PS: The ship north of it is the HNS VELOS (ex-USS Charrette), an old Fletcher-class DD from WW2.

It kinda looks like a French predreadnought ...

It's basically good, but the death seems off to me. Can't really describe what's wrong ... the sinking motion just doesn't look natural.
